I once attended a lecture on “Sign Language”. Do you want to know how to sign “the United States of America”?

Stick out your index fingers and thumbs, pretend that you are a two-gun cowboy in a western movie. Voilà!

Shocked? No.

The American students at the lecture were!

An American guy once told me that he taught his 6-year-old daughter how to use a gun. When I looked at him with disgust, he said: I know, but if I don’t teach her how to use it, she might die from “misusing” it.

No comment.

In his essay “Give Your Mom a Gun”, Geoff Mann states:
“Gun politics in the US are now identity politics, and the AR-15, more than any other firearm, has become a symbol not only of consumer freedom, but of freedom of expression or even faith.”
